yesterday i used htc desire and htc desire z.but i saw amazingly speed difference on their internet speed.desire z was faster than desire.both mobiles were brand new and upgraded.i wonder why?is it the reason that desire z has 1.5 gb internal storage or something else.i think desiree must be more faster because it has 1ghz processor am i wrong?
The desire z has a 2nd gen processor ... so even though its only 800mhz it will be as fast if not maybe abit faster than the original desires 1ghz 1st gen snapdragon processor.

in your opinion only!
i have played around with the desire Z also, and compared to my desire, it was quicker but not noticeable enough that i was jealous.
I think the main draw over the desire is the keyboard, and to some that is a hinderance as it weighs nearly 1/3 more for it.
I am from India,I am about to purchase Wildfire but just saw a new mobile from Htc called Wildfire S launched along with Desire S.So I just wanted to confirm is their any difference in 2 phones?
Currently I'm with HTC Gene since last 3 years and now really want to upgrade. Will Wildfire be a good option? I read that both having same resolution but will it affect? also is there any phone from HTC in same budget having "front camera"?
I shall be highly obliged if I get any response from you guys!

adwaitk007 the main differences between "our" wildfire and the S are the higher screen resolution and the slightly faster processor. Both of these are very good reasons to buy the S since the "old" wildfire does have a problem there.
However.... For its price there are really good phones out there offering way more than the wildfire S. I dont know which phones are available in india or if you're restricted by a certain carrier but it would be best to make a list of phones around the pricerange of the wildfire and compare their specs against each other. Once you get down to a couple of devices search these forums for problems and or advantages of each device... If you still end up wanting a wildfire... Go for the S
wildfire S just like Aria in wildfire case. Of course, with new sense.
You may want to survey about rooting phone with new hboot if u plan to root it later.
Wildfire versus Wildfire S
Hi. I have been wondering what the main difference is between the Wildfire and Wildfire S too. I have a Wildfire and am based in the UK, not sure whether to upgrade to the new phone.

Hi! nice to here from you. I am also planning to buy Wildfire. i just wanted to know if it's a cool phone or not? the reviews at HTC portal pleased me but still wanted to confirm if it works as they mentioned or not! Also wanted to know about the apps,themes,games,such things. whether they are available in good verity? Because I heard that the phone has low resolution so the apps will be less in numbers!
Your reply will surly help me! And yes still wondering about the difference between "S"
Friends i am also a user of wildfire but i would strictly advice you to go for Samsung galaxy ace which is available at the same cost and is really worth every penny u spend and can also be rooted has froyo out of box and is expected to get gingerbread love. has 800Mhz CPU with a adreno gpu so graphics is no problem. and even the screen resolution is HVGA definitely better than wildfire. I wish i had waited for one more month then i could have got this better phone..the only advantage wildfire enjoys is sense interface and nothing else. Had purchased this wildfire in january so cant update right now...but if had the opputunity i would have definately gone for Ace. Both phones are currently available in India within price range of Rs. 13500-15000 Hit thanks if you like my advice

Wait for the S. App / Game compatibility of the Wildfire is very less because of the QVGA Screen, so, half the apps doesn't show up at all. Also, there is no GPU in it, so, any intensive game won't work at all, or, will play like a slideshow.
Since the Wildfire S is close to release, and, fixes both the above deficiencies (It has a HVGA 480x320 Screen, a faster and newer MSM 7227 600 MHz CPU, and an Adreno 200 GPU (Which, incidentally, is the same as the one in the Desire)), it should certainly be worth waiting for it.
Sum up of differences between Wildfire and S for those that are still confused:
* Wildfire S is slightly smaller than the Wildfire, because, it does not have the optical trackpad.
* The resolution of the S if greater than the Wildfire. (480x320 vs 320x240)
* The CPU of the S is newer and faster (Qualcomm MSM 7227 at 600 MHz vs MSM 7225 at 528 MHz)
* The S has a GPU Chipset. (Qualcomm Adreno 200, Wildfire doesnt have one)

hey newbie. do u know the process of rooting android phone. ROOTING and then INSTALLING CUSTOM RECOVERY makes users to boost their android phone performance with custom roms. i doubt u havent understood what i said.
first learn something about rooting and custom roms. or else u will regret for what u have done. wildfire and wildfire s and all the newer htc devices are having greater security on the bootloader which makes them almost impossible to root. what u r planning to purchase device comes under POOR ROOT category.
check this out. it helps u a lot.

check out this gsmarena link of the original wildfire.
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_wildfire-3337.php
it says that the original wildfire has adreno 200 GPU. it also says that the original wildfire has gorilla glass display.
i was checking the gsmarena website from past 2 years. regarding wildfire i was checking the specifications regularly. i can say confidentially that those 2 features adreno gpu and gorilla glass display were added later to the specifications in that website. can u explain the reason
and if u see this link below, u will be really shocked to see HTC GOOGLE NEXUS ONE getting a multi touch input method via firmware upgrade.
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_google_nexus_one-3069.php
can someone explain those things

It's wrong. That is the spec of the Wildfire S. If you check the Wildfire S at GSMArena, there is no mention of a GPU there. So, I believe they have mixed it up. Also, if HTC had added these 2 MAJOR features to the Wildfire at the end of its life, surely there would have been SOME official announcement from them.
If the Wildfire had an Adreno 200, it would be compatible with all 3D Games, and, even Non 3D Games like Angry Birds would run flawlessly on the Stock ROM, which obviously doesn't happen. Even Quadrant, a CPU and GPU Benchmark, fails on the Wildfire, which wouldn't happen if the Wildfire had a GPU.
Oh, and even the Xperia X10 received Multi Touch via a Firmware Update. The digitizer had the capabilities, but, somehow, these companies chose not to implement them. (In case of the X10, it was because of lack of support on Donut)
Why cannot we use HTC G1 Dream Android Sense roms when our HTC Diamond specs matches 98-99%
Sorry I know this is an old thread but i want to make it clear for all users why it cannot be done. (well, it could, but let me explain)
The 2.0 sense ports to the g1 are slow ( except a few ports)
There is a resolution difference, and everything will look screwed up if it the port is running.
The sense ports to g1 are originally from other devices such as HTC hero or legend.
So far, without nand Android, sense will be slow even if you have a lot of ram or high overclock.
Possible devices that you could port Android sense from include HTC wildire, HTC tattoo, and basically any device with 320x480 resolution. Our devices have higher resolution and that contributes to the slowness of Android also... If you are feeling lazy, you can use any rom from the htc wildfire section and use that as a base
I hope that makes it clear to those asking the same question
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I have a doubt,how can 320x480 resolution can support(you mentioned) our 480x640 VGA resolution??? Because if 240x320 cant support it then how can 320x480 support our device!!!
I was looking in the Desire S forums and noticed that there are roms that say they work for the Desire Z, but aren't in our forums. Which brings me to the question on the Desire Z vs Desire S (yes I know we have a keyboard). But is the rest of the phone the same? Are the boot.img the same? Can a Desire S ROM even boot on our device or does it the phone get bricked. Also what other phones are close and what makes them different.
thanks.
It's very similar but not exactly the same. Check out the differences:
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacomparer&id1=2598&id2=2771&id3=2596&del_id=2598
The MSM8255 is exactly the same as MSM7230, just running at 1024 MHz rather than 800 MHz. The Desire S also has 768 MB of RAM vs 512 MB on the Desire-Z, and has DDR2 RAM vs regular DDR RAM.
The Desire S looks almost identical specs-wise to the Desire HD, which our device gets plenty of ports from (since the chipsets are the same, as mentioned above).
Hi.
I want to buy cheap used phone for min. 1 year. The phone must be able to support stable ICS/JB ROM or has many custom ROMs. It would be great, if the battery last good. I see that Desire and Desire Z are quite good for my expectations, but there're few diffrences.
Desire Z's CPU has almost same performance as Desire, but uses less power.
Desire Z's GPU is a way better than Desire's (Adreno 200 vs Adreno 205).
Desire has AMOLED which uses more energy.
Which do you prefer for me?
Desire Z is better. Even if the processor is 800 mhz, is part of the second generation of snapdragon, so also the gpu is better (adreno 200 against adreno 205). Regarding display, it's very difficult to find an AMOLED display on Desire, since it is only on the first generation (dating back almost two years ago), the second generation instead is equipped with a SLCD display (which is basically the same as the desire z for depth of the blacks and contrasts). Desire Z also has a convenient physical qwerty keyboard
